But I also have on more birthday on the mission! That is crazy!
This week was adventure! Transfer calls came and went, and nothing
changing here!
We did a good amount of teaching this week, which is always amazing.
Some of the best days on the mission are the ones where you get to
share the gospel with as many people as you can. I love it!
We revived some former investigators, which is always an adventure!
One in particular was dropped because she didn't pray to God...she
actually prayed to Mother Theresa. Yes, very interesting. But since
the sisters stopped teaching her a year ago she has prayed to God and
received answers! She was being prepared, and I think she is ready to
be retaught. She still has a long way to go, but much more receptive
now. Bill and Jill are still doing well. They are getting very excited
for baptism, and are learning a lot. It is amazing to see people
accept the gospel. It bring me back to my journey, and it feels like a
million times better! There is a promise in the scriptures that says
our joy will be so great if we bring but one would to Christ. That
promise is so real!
I am learning more about the gospel everyday, especially about the
amazing effect it has on families. Most of the members in New England
are converts, or the children of converts. Five different converts
bore testimony of the impact of the gospel on their lives. It was
amazing to hear their different journeys, but that the result is the
same. So much joy. And a closeness in their families. And just SO
MANY MIRACLES. I love the people of New England . They are an amazing
example to me, and they have shown me so much Christ-like love. They
are living proof of this quote I heard many times this week:
"Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He
can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen
their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their
muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their
opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out
peace."
I know that this is true. Christ and Heavenly Father have bigger plans
for you than you could ever know. And they will provide the way, and
we just need to follow them. I know it is difficult. But it is so
worth it!
Have a great week lovely people!
